Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra The 389th Subscription Concert Unofficial
Isao Tomita: The Tale of Genji Fantasy Symphony Picture Scroll
2026/12/03(Th.) 19:00 Starting
On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the death of Isao Tomita, one of Japan's leading composers, we will perform "The Tale of Genji Fantasy Symphonic Picture Scroll," which is also known as the culmination of his work. Principal Guest Conductor Yukio Fujioka and the Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra will create a magnificent musical world through a meticulous fusion of orchestra, Japanese instruments, and synthesizers. The performance will be a rare opportunity to recreate the elegant fantasies of the Heian period with contemporary sounds, featuring recitations of Kyoto words and soloists on a variety of Japanese instruments, including the biwa, 25-stringed koto, Noh flute, and Hichiriki. A pre-concert talk by the conductor will be held before the performance to deepen the audience's understanding of the work. Enjoy a unique and immersive acoustic experience.
